Gearing system

Abstract

A housing has front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom faces are provided. A primary axis extends through bearing apertures of the front and rear faces. A secondary axis extends through bearing apertures of the left and right faces. A tertiary axis extends through bearing apertures of the top and bottom faces. First and second axles with first and second gears are rotatable around the primary axis. Third and fourth axles with third and fourth gears are rotatable around the second axis. Fifth and sixth axles with fifth and sixth gears are rotatable around the tertiary axis. One-to-one rotation of the fifth and sixth axles in opposite directions will cause one-to-one rotation of the first and second axles in opposite directions and one-to-one rotation of the third and fourth axles in opposite directions.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows: 
     
         1 . A gearing system comprising:
 a front face, a rear face, a left face, a right face, a top face, and a bottom face, a bearing aperture located in each face, a primary axis extending through the bearing apertures of the front and rear faces, a secondary axis extending through the bearing apertures of the left and right faces, a tertiary axis extending through the bearing apertures of the top and bottom faces; and   first and second axles with first and second gears rotatable around the primary axis, third and fourth axles with third and fourth gears rotatable around the second axis, fifth and sixth axles with fifth and sixth gears rotatable around the tertiary axis;   whereby one-to-one rotation of the fifth and sixth axles in opposite directions will cause one-to-one rotation of the first and second axles in opposite directions, and one-to-one rotation of the third and fourth axles in opposite directions.   
     
     
         2 . The system as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the faces form a housing in a cube-shaped configuration, the faces forming a chamber with the gears located within the chamber, the primary and secondary axes being at right angles with respect to each other, and the tertiary axis at right angles to the primary and secondary axes. 
     
     
         3 . The system as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the first and second gears are bevel gears having axially interior halves with teeth and axially exterior halves without teeth, and wherein the third and fourth gears are bevel gears having axially exterior halves with teeth and axially interior halves without teeth, and wherein the fifth and sixth gears are bevel gears having axially exterior halves with teeth and axially interior halves with teeth. 
     
     
         4 . A gearing system comprising:
 a housing;   a primary bearing aperture located in the housing, a primary axis extending through the primary bearing aperture;   a secondary bearing aperture located in the housing, a secondary axis extending through the secondary bearing aperture, the secondary axis being perpendicular to the primary axis;   a tertiary bearing aperture located in the housing, a tertiary axis extending through the tertiary bearing aperture, the tertiary axis being perpendicular to both the primary axis and the secondary axis;   a primary axle with a primary gear rotatable around the primary axis, the primary gear being a bevel gear with both radially interior teeth and radially exterior teeth;   a secondary axle with a secondary gear rotatable around the secondary axis, the secondary gear being a bevel gear with only radially interior teeth; and   a tertiary axle with a tertiary gear rotatable around the tertiary axis, the tertiary gear being a bevel gear with only radially exterior teeth.   
     
     
         5 . A gearing system ( 10 ) for converting rotation of clockwise shafts in clockwise directions to rotation of counterclockwise shafts in counterclockwise directions opposite from the clockwise directions, each clockwise shaft having an associated counterclockwise shaft in axial alignment, the converting of the clockwise directions to the counterclockwise directions being in a one-to-one ratio, the converting being done in a safe, convenient, and economical manner, the system comprising, in combination:
 a housing ( 14 ) in a cube-shaped configuration with a front face ( 16 ), a rear face ( 18 ), a left face ( 20 ), a right face ( 22 ), a top face ( 24 ), and a bottom face ( 26 ), a chamber formed between the faces, the chamber having a midpoint, a first circular bearing aperture ( 28 ) centrally located in the front face, a second circular bearing aperture ( 30 ) centrally located in the rear face, a third circular bearing aperture ( 32 ) centrally located in the left face, a fourth circular bearing aperture ( 34 ) centrally located in the right face, a fifth circular bearing aperture ( 36 ) centrally located in the top face, a sixth circular bearing aperture ( 38 ) centrally located in the bottom face, a primary axis extending horizontally through the first and second bearing apertures and the midpoint of the chamber, a secondary axis extending horizontally through the third and fourth bearing apertures and the midpoint of the chamber and perpendicular to the first axis, a tertiary axis extending vertically through the fifth and sixth bearing apertures and the midpoint of the chamber perpendicular to the first and second axes;   a first shaft ( 42 ) extending through the first bearing aperture with a first bevel gear ( 44 ) within the chamber adjacent to the front face, a second shaft ( 46 ) extending through the second bearing aperture with a second bevel gear ( 48 ) within the chamber adjacent to the rear face, a third shaft ( 50 ) extending through the third bearing aperture with a third bevel gear ( 52 ) within the chamber adjacent to the left face, a fourth shaft ( 54 ) extending through the fourth bearing aperture with a fourth bevel gear ( 56 ) within the chamber adjacent to the right face, a fifth shaft ( 58 ) extending through the fifth bearing aperture with a fifth bevel gear ( 60 ) within the chamber adjacent to the top face, a sixth shaft ( 62 ) extending through the sixth bearing aperture with a sixth bevel gear ( 64 ) within the chamber adjacent to the bottom face;   the first and second bevel gears having axially interior halves with teeth ( 68 ), ( 70 ), the first and second bevel gears having axially exterior halves without teeth, the first and second gears being rotatable around the primary axis, the third and fourth bevel gears having axially exterior halves with teeth ( 72 ), ( 74 ), the third and fourth bevel gears having axially interior halves without teeth, the third and fourth gears being rotatable around the secondary axis, the fifth and sixth bevel gears having axially exterior halves with teeth ( 76 ), ( 78 ), the fifth and sixth bevel gears having axially interior halves with teeth ( 80 ), ( 82 ), the fifth and sixth gears being rotatable around the tertiary axis; and   wherein the interior teeth of the fifth and sixth gears are in meshing engagement with the interior teeth of the first and second gears so that the rotation of the fifth and sixth axles equally one-to-one in opposite directions will cause rotation of the first and second axles in equally one-to-one in opposite directions, and wherein the exterior teeth of the fifth and sixth gears are in meshing engagement with the exterior teeth of the third and fourth gears so that the rotation of the fifth and sixth axles equally one-to-one in opposite directions will cause rotation of the third and fourth axles in equally one-to-one in opposite directions.
